Cookies for Breakfast

Today I almost achieved that most enviable of all titles: "Best Mom in the World." It was sitting there, just out of reach. Tempting. Teasing. Whispering my name. Alas, as fate is such a fickle creature, my hopes of laying claim to it were dashed with one quick yell across the house: "I told you to brush your teeth! Get going." I fell off the precipice to wallow with the mortal mothers, resounding choruses of "You're so mean!" echoing in my ears. Such is life.

I fed my kids cookies for breakfast. Chewy, yummy, peanut buttery cookies. With chocolate. Justin was so excited he insisted he was going to tell his classmates. Kaleb just didn't want to stop eating.

Now, before you judge me, know that these cookies weren't just any old unhealthy treat. Besides the chocolate chips, these babies didn't have extra refined sugar, oil, or flour added to them. It was like eating a glorified bowl of oatmeal and were healthier than most cereals to be typically found in our cupboard.

I just threw them together...I've listed the recipe of sorts below. It wasn't exact. A little this, a little that. You can tweak until it suits your tastes.

They're not a decadent melt in your mouth dessert cookie. They're not even pretty to look at... but for a quick breakfast cookie or healthy snack to win you brownie points, they do the trick. You might just earn the moniker "Best Mom in the World."

I'm not sure I've ever tried (or successfully managed) a chain store knockoff before. A few weeks ago, the boys and I were in Pier1. (I think that trip gave me a heart condition - do NOT EVER - never, ever even - bring two rambunctious monkeys into a store filled with pretty expensive things.) I have never said, "Stop touching." "Look with your eyes!" "Don't run." so many times in one short span of time.

I love Pier1, but for a mama on a budget who isn't quite sure how she wants to decorate her house, it can still be a bit pricey. They have some fabulous items though - their decor, art, dishes, and accessories make me swoon a little when I meander through their greatness. I even love their little tchotskys and giftables - which is what inspired this knockoff.

I love to read. I've said it before, I'll say it again. This is just a fact of who I am. As much as I like books, I loooooove pretty bookmarks. Seriously. I…

We are embarking on the next phase in our parenting journey... our oldest son is thirteen years old tomorrow! At 6:09 a.m. on October 13, 2005, we welcomed our ridiculously large child into our arms - we could almost say his enormous size was indicative of how much our hearts expanded in love. At 38 weeks, measuring 11lbs, 7oz weight, 24.8 inches in length, and a head circumference of 14.9 inches, we were grateful for a c-section (post delivery.)

Kaleb's delivery story began with an unexpected visit to the Labour & Delivery ward after a sudden drop in blood sugar and extreme nausea in Mom the day before his birth. This was one of the warning signs we were asked to watch for in our high risk pregnancy towards the end of term. Tests were ordered, I was examined, and we proceeded with our scheduled BPP. Fortunately, our actual Ob-Gyn was on call that day and he stuck around for much longer than most doctors would to ensure he was on hand to make decisions for our care. Sh…

Hey... Remember me? I know you thought I disappeared into the nether (we have Minecraft geeks in our house!), but I promise, I just disappeared into real life. I have reaffirmed two things about myself: 1) I have a very difficult saying no (or not feeling guilty when I do!) and, 2) I haven't improved my juggling skills. I'm dropping balls left, right, and centre like it's the coolest thing to do.

Today was a day off and with the kids back to school, it means they're on the bus at the crack of way too early (7:30am but some of us appreciate an 8 a.m. wake up call - not because we were reading until the wee hours of the morning or anything. Never that.)

Anyhow, once the boys were off, I tackled some Wisdom & Whimsy projects, tidied the kitchen, folded a bit of laundry, scrubbed the shower (oh how desparately that needed to be done!), washed off the paint & ModPodge, and hustled out the door by 9:30 a.m. Woohoo, I'm a wonder!
